Back to School Sandwich: Lunch Box Sushi & Cookbook Giveaway

My three kids start back to school in a little over a week so I’ve been trying to get back into the groove. I try to be really creative when it comes to school lunch for two out of my three children who insist on taking their own lunch. This year, I have more than enough ideas since the release of my new cookbook, “400 Best Sandwiches: From Classics & Burgers to Wraps & Condiments”. One of our favorite recipes from the “Lunchbox” chapter is this recipe for Lunch Box Sushi. It’s really easy, healthy, fresh and kids love it. Feel free to substitute cooked chicken for the shrimp. In honor of the popular demand for sandwiches and back to school, I am giving away one copy of my new sandwich cookbook.

I happen to love many kinds of sandwiches..this time of the year my favorite is fresh home grown tomato sandwiches plain and simple..but a good BLT hits the spot too.. (or a BLTA)
In winter I LOVE PB and banana with honey..grilled is good too..and grilled cheese…anything with cheese..I could go on and on…I love the sushi roll recipe you posted above..it sounds great, and I know everyone here would Love them…

What a neat idea for a sandwich – how creative! I’m always looking for new ideas to mix things up. Lately, my 9-year’s favorite sandwich is tuna, tapenade, and chopped celery – not the typical sandwich for a young kid, but he loves it.

My kids are older now but when I was packing their lunch, they both loved old fashioned PB&J on wheat. I would use a heart or star cookie cutter and pack that in their lunch boxes. I missed those days!!

I consider sandwiches to be my favorite food. By far. No, you ask, no specific type. If’s it’s a sandwich, I will devour and enjoy immensely.

Your sushi sandwiches are adorable. And with sushi being my 2nd favorite food they also look delicious.

My favorite sandwich is not complicated but worth savoring. It consists of turkey, lettuce, red onion, thinly sliced avocado on nice, thick bread. Ciabatta perhaps. A thin layer of some pesto aioli and that, ladies and gents is a sandwich.

Oh my, these little sushi sandies are adorable! My kids’ favourite lunch would be peanut butter, but they aren’t allowed to take that to school. They do love it when I make quesadilla and send that in, though. That’s kind of a sandwich, right?

My son’s too young to love sandwiches…he’s not yet on solids:) but we grownups swear by them as they can be eaten with one hand, standing up, which is how we usually eat these days, with a baby around:)
We recently tried this Pan Bagnat Sandwich and I think it’s a nice refreshing idea, for ppl that are into tuna of course:)http://www.3greenonions.com/2011/07/05/pan-bagnat-sandwich/
but by far my fave is: light layer of mayo infused with garlic, plenty of fresh dill, roasted red peppers and black olives!Yum.
would love to win this book!
